3/05/08--Reds vs. Red Sox

[Chip R]

Homer not looking so hot right now.

That groin injury flare up again?

[WMR]

For someone with no chance at making the team, Castro sure is getting a bunch of PA's this spring.

Homer not looking so hot right now.

Oh good lord. He did fine. He's got a few Ks, no walks, and allowed four singles.

Really, this board has lost its head in a rush to hate a fine prospect.

Really, this board has lost its head in a rush to hate a fine prospect.

Based on a pitchers ability to only control K's, walks and HR's allowed, 4 singles over 2 inning shouldn't worry to many. I doubt he has a .500 BABIP all season.

Though I know using BABIP over a few innings is essentially meaningless. But I'd be more worried if Bailey was walking guys and giving up HR's.

[dougdirt]

Its early. For right now he has 4ip, 5 hits, 2 walks, 2 runs and 3 strikeouts.

Also, that hit that plated the two runs, according to C Trent, had it not hit Bailey in the butt, would have been an out.

[cumberlandreds]

Youklis walks.

[BRM]

C. Trent is also saying he's getting hit pretty hard for the most part. He's working ahead in the count though, not falling behind any hitters.

[cumberlandreds]

Varitek flies out to deep LF.

[MrCinatit]

Its early. For right now he has 4ip, 5 hits, 2 walks, 2 runs and 3 strikeouts.

Also, that hit that plated the two runs, according to C Trent, had it not hit Bailey in the butt, would have been an out.

So, if he didn't have such a big butt, he would have been out of the inning. :

Oh good lord. It's one comment--an accurate one--made in a spring training game thread. I don't "hate" Homer Bailey--in fact, if you look up my posts on this board you wouldn't find a single negative thing I've written about him.

Lighten up.

[cumberlandreds]

Votto dribbles out to the mound.

[dougdirt]

Reds back at the plate? What happened there in the 3rd with Bailey on the mound outside of the flyout?

[cumberlandreds]

Wow! Castro makes an out! Who would have thunk it?

Reds back at the plate? What happened there in the 3rd with Bailey on the mound outside of the flyout?

Sorry work took over. I missed it.

[membengal]

Sorry, register, but in light of the weirdness about his supposed attitude in other threads, and the continuing exigesis on all things Homer groin, etc., it is hard to remember who is serious about that stuff and who is not.

I just think that a certain subset of this board has gone to crazy-land over Bailey and spends way too much time parsing minutiae with him that it doesn't with other prospects.
